This is exactly why they got rid of the dislikes on YouTube.

Thanks Matt Walsh, for sending me here for a good giggle! 🤣

None of this is appropriate in the work place.

[Anayansi]

I would just have erased the BLM. Whiteboard is for brainstorming company stuff, not for social causes.

[insurrectionist]

I'm confused because as far as I know every job I've ever worked at doesn't condone politics...

[nathanaelculver]

The racial discrimination began with the assumption that the ”brother" was shot because of his race instead of his failure to comply, which led to the political graffitiing in the workplace.

[gigiizzy]

You're right. Writing down a political message on a board in support of an extremist group that caused immeasurable damage in life and property just over the past year is not appropriate in the work place.

There’s so many issues with the lead in to this story it’s almost unreal.

What would the protests be about? Like literally narrow it down to something? Instead it will be about a blanket misjudgment of police in general right? With little to no effect on any policies or policing. The other issue I have with people is their absolute willingness to take anyone at their word in real life. I don’t care how well I know someone. If they come in complaining about something I’m immediately skeptical that it’s as cut and dry as they portrayed it. I’m immediately aware there were likely a number of variables and factors that only those involved could have known. So my first reaction wouldn’t be to ask “Are there dozens of protests breaking out, hopefully!?!?”. This is what division looks like, and how it starts. Zero effort towards understanding of anyone else.

Why is any employee writing a political statement on a whiteboard at work?

[amickguitar]

Imagine if somebody wrote "white lives matter." On the board.

[fernandogarciaiglesias]

“Black brother got killed on his way to see his grandma. Police called him, he didn’t respond, so they killed him. Turns out he is deaf”. Nothing like that ever ever happened.

[markrome]

I would have left the BLM slogan alone, taken a picture of it and reported it to HR. Writing that slogan would be a violation of company policy and should be dealt with by corporate leadership. If you can't take a picture, immediately call HR and stay in the conference room until someone can come and erase it.

[alastorsasylum]

Workplaces are for WORKING. I know it’s hard for some people to grasp, but sometimes not everything revolves around an “injustice” committed against you. If I walked in and saw this, I’d ask who wrote it, and make a mental note to avoid them whenever possible. I would complain to management, but I’d probably be fired due to most companies having a warped view of “victim hood” and “oppression”. The ALM thing is a rather dumb common sense rebuttal, and both are intended to divide. Debate politics, and have opinions on your own time.

[TheSaltyLunatics]

They should not be discussing politics or personal things at work. Or utilize company property to display their political beliefs. Considering all the damage the BLM riots have caused, it can cause a lot of anger and agression in the workplace and it should not be a topic of cocern.

[emmas]

This entire video is like an end of term university assignment. Grade C for all concerned.

[kroon]

Either this is a parody or extremely patronising to black people 😬😬

[HappyHalBallard]

Shooting a guy who doesn't repond to police because he is deaf would be tragic REGARDLESS of race! The people making this video cannot see that?!?

[blacksocrates]

1st of all, if a black guy is getting shot, the odds are it will be another black person shooting them. Does anyone have smoke for that?

[josephnash]

Writing all is not racial discrimination.

[JIMBO]

Black and all life matters. Just make sure you give it a reason to matter. Its in your hands now.
